crate_anon.common.parallel.is_my_job_by_hash(value: Any, tasknum: int, ntasks: int) → bool[source]

We convert some non-integer thing into a deterministic but roughly randomly distributed integer using hash64. That produces a signed integer, which is OK because % works nonetheless.

We use this function to parallelize for non-integer PKs.

This is less efficient than dividing the work up via SQL, because we have to fetch/hash something.

Perform this test ASAP in loops, for speed.

crate_anon.common.parallel.is_my_job_by_hash_prehashed(hashed_value: Any, tasknum: int, ntasks: int) → bool[source]

A version of is_my_job_by_hash() for use when you have pre-hashed the value, and ntasks is guaranteed to be >1.
